However, Stacey admitted she had little confidence in how seriously the matter had been handled, saying she would not trust Ashfield School as far as she could throw them, though she acknowledged that the original group of boys had not been seen since.

Neighbour Keith Allen added his , revealing he had reported a similar incident to the police on Sunday after his own door was targeted.
